We are proud to present Safadfood AB, a company offering high-quality carbonated beverages, run by a Palestinian family and based in Sweden. Our drinks are more than just a refreshing treat – they represent a symbol of unity and community.
…
100% of our profits go directly to war-affected people and children in Palestine. Through our work, we aim to alleviate the suffering of those living in uncertainty and challenging conditions. Our goal is to support the most vulnerable and help build a brighter future for those hardest hit by conflict.
…
It is as good as it gets in the current situation. Israel would never allow Palestinians in the Westbank, leave alone Gaza become successful with such a brand.
Let me tell you about the tale of Neoliberalism and the center “left”. Our story begins in the 1980s, but it really takes of in the early 2000s. At the time a bloke named Tony was ruling the UK as prime minister and he had a fine Atze ruling Germany, whose name was Gerhard…
Together they dismantled social security, raised taxes on their people, and lowered taxes on their rich friends. They sold much of their realm to their rich friends, at a staggering discount. They said this would be best for the people and the global markets would demand, but also reward as such…
The BBC is omitting a crucial point here. There aren’t only videos of spokespeople saying they were attacked. There is multiple videos from different angles, all showing the matching scene of something burning being dropped onto the ship, where it explodes.
It is literally on video and beyond any reasonable doubt, that the ship was attacked by an incendiary device being dropped onto it.

https://aje.io/e4f7v5?update=3934417The videos are consistent with each other. The videos of the attack itself have matching time-stamps.
Either an update of the Tunisian government hasn’t reached the western press yet, or the Tunisian government is doubling down on a lie in order to safe face in the wake of a direct attack on their sovereignty and their failure to identify and prevent the threat.
And the most obvious way to move a ship is by sea. Ships are made to move on water. There is no more logical way to move a ship and its content across the Mediterranean Sea than by sailing it.
Despite existing land-routes shipping remains the backbone of global transportation and you would be shocked to find the amount of ships transporting goods and people across the Mediterranean Sea, or the Baltic Sea, or any other route that has land-routes available. But it goes even further! Rivers and channels remain crucial shipping lanes inside Europe despite streets and train-tracks being right next to them. Almost as if ships are great means of transportation!EDIT: I am sorry, i got cocky with that comment.
Despite existing land-routes shipping remains the backbone of global transportation and ships usually are preferential to land-routes in particular in the Mediterranean Sea or the Baltic Sea. There also are many shipping routes based on rivers and channels, which have streets and train-tracks right next to it, but maintain shipping as the preferred method of transport for many goods. Shipping is a great mean of transportation and in many cases it is the best option.
Fascism thrives on fear as a means to control. It fosters it. It kindles it. It works hard to keep reasons up for people to feel fear, so that they turn off their thinking and let the fascists control their fear.
While in Western Europe the past 70 years were mostly working on the notion that your wealth and well being would increase, we now are at a point, where the future will have mostly loss of wealth and well being relative to the parents generation. In that climate, Fascists can easily foster, exploit and twist those fears.
“Climate change? It isn’t real and it is just a hoax to take your car away! Global instability and mass expulsion of people? It is just the brown people wanting to steal your social security! Don’t look at the countries and corporations running the globe into the ground and being in bed with the Fascists! Look at the people struggling as a result of it. Hate them, look down on them and fear them. And fear becoming like them, as we dismantle the very same systems that gave you a stable livelihood!”
Fascism is a self fulfilling prophecy of fear, anger and decline for the people falling into it and a brief mania of total control and superiority for the Fascist leaders, until the whole system comes crashing down, as it inevitably does.
4·1 year agoI recommend the Al-Jazeera live updates on the flotilla. There is video evidence from cameras from multiple boats showing the attack from different angles.
The claim of the Tunisian government that there would have been no drone and the fire would have been the result of carelessness are clearly lies aimed at saving face and downplaying the violation of Tunisia’s national sovereignty.

171·1 year agoThe DNC Dems are there to prevent a progressive party from forming. The DNC Dems are working together with the Reps to fight against the people of America for the rich oligarchs running the country.
We warned that this is what is going on before the last presidential election and before that. But people wouldn’t want to listen, instead defending “slow genocide” and “lesser of two evils” and other insane statements. Now they keep getting screwed as the DNC Dems understand that they will keep getting away with it.
I think Bin Zayed is starting to get cold feet that his people eventually could turn on him too. But the greed remains stronger as we see in continued dealings with Israel, the pillaging of Sudan, destabilizing Libya…
Hamas is a product of Israeli occupation. The IDF is a product of Israeli national identity.
If it wouldn’t be Hamas, it would be a different violent organization, like before PFLP, PLO, etc. When people are brutally oppressed, it leads to violent resistance, that often will not limit itself to military targets.
The survey did not ask participants whether they support Palestinians more broadly, despite Israeli leaders repeatedly framing their war as being against all Palestinians, not only Hamas.
Oh no, how terrible for media to follow standards in reporting when it comes to criminal suspects, rather than throwing these standards overboard and allowing for witch hunts. Because that would never backfire onto the people at large…
DW is funded and run by the German government to improve Germanys image abroad. It is not a public broadcaster as those are financed through a government independent but obligatory system.
In regards to Palestine it ran a terrible hack job of Israeli propaganda until about earlier this year, when they realized that this is harming the image of Germany abroad much stronger than at least pretending balanced coverage.
The “practical leftists” were fighting the people who wanted the supposedly better party to not be this cruel and abominable evil. The division was caused by the “practical leftists” who willfully employed themselves to spread the propaganda, that genocide should be acceptable as a “lesser” evil. The “practical leftists” were integral to the strategy of the oligarchy, that is financing and dictating bot mayor US political parties what to do, in waging their war against the people in the US and people abroad.
The only strategy not to loose, is not to play that game. We see some initiatives into that direction with people like Mamdani and we see that the “lesser” evil and the “bigger” evil are largely working together to fight against anything that could not be evil.
These “permissive interpretations” also mean that if someone is fighting for example for Russia or some mercenary organization, they could justify it based on the right to equal treatment in the face of the law. These are the kind of laws that must have no exemption.
They should arrest those dual citizens upon arrival in the country and charge them accordingly.
So for all the people saying they voted the “lesser evil”. Your lesser evil is justifying the slaughter of children based on who their parents supposedly are or were.
Also hist claims that the casualties would then show to be lower and much less civilians is ridiculous in the face of even the IDFs internal database showing that they murdered 83% Civilians.
Jacob Lew is just saying here that he has been feeding blindly on Israel propaganda and then regurgitating it through his administration to the general public.
China produces about 3/4 of the worlds neodymium magnets and those are the strongest permanent magnets. As such they are critical components for all sorts of electrical devices.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet#Applications
China has the monopoly or practically the monopoly on many rare earth extraction and refinement, as well as a strong presence in the manufacture of components out of it. China’s industrial strategy has identified critical industries for the 21st century and is building to become the global leader in all of them. China is way past the point of letting the US bully it and so they are calling Trumps bluffs.
As for companies that are “good” or “neutral” it is difficult to find and i don’t know where to look either.
Depending on your situation and possibilities you could maybe invest into your own subsistence. E.g. if you own your house and/or some land you could look into making yourself as energy independent as possible with a PV-System. You can start growing as much of your own food/material and try to lower your overall consumption footprint. Basically the less you engage with the capitalist economy, the less of your money can be used for the wrong things.
When it comes to investing in businesses, looking local might be the way to go. E.g. if you can talk directly with the owner and communicate if they fit your guidelines, that gives you more of an insight than just looking at the reports of stock companies. Obviously that requires you to have a relevant amount of money to invest and investing in small businesses is more risky than investing in larger companies, ETFs or the like.
Imagine the worlds strongest military nation, with a budget larger than the next 5 countries, with bases around the globe, the largest economy in the world, spanning over a continent with access to two oceans, hundreds of millions of people…
Is pathetically enslaved to a small state of a few million violent extremists who humiliate the US in every possible way at every possible turn. And the US willfully lets itself be humiliated in the face of the world over and over and over again. No matter the administration in the US or in Israel, no matter the claims of “MAGA”. When the Israelis government unzips its pants and starts peeing, the US government is rushing on its knees to let the pee go in their face.
The next flagrant violation of international law. The next war of aggression. The next murder of people Israel and the US claim to be in “negotiations” with. The next proof that Israel has no intention for peace, only for the total annihilation of the Palestinian people.
